A federal office of men’s health has never been closer, yet it’s likely still years away
WASHINGTON — Just before he was sworn in as assistant secretary for health at the end of 2025, Admiral Brian Christine — a urologist whose practice treated primarily male patients — talked at an FDA panel on testosterone about a series of alarming statistics: Male life expectancy is close to seven years shorter than women’s; men have higher mortality rates in 10 of the leading causes of death; and they make up the vast majority of deaths by suicide.
“We have a men’s health crisis in this country. Now we need a national strategy,” he said, in a panel on testosterone replacement. He added that establishing a “parallel track” to women’s health for men at the Department of Human and Health Services was a priority of HHS secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and reiterated the message on the day of his swearing in.
